Walton Sheriff's Office, Eglin team up for Mobility Impaired Hunt

The Walton County Sheriff's Office (WCSO) joined Eglin Air Force Base’s Jackson Guard in the 18th Annual Mobility Impaired Hunt on Eglin’s property.

“We are delighted to help with this effort each year,” said Lt. Dewey Adams. “The event affords us an opportunity to get involved with citizens outside of the law enforcement environment.”

During the first weekend in February, members of the “Wounded Warrior Project” and other hunters participated in an event targeting whitetail deer, wild hogs and coyote. Children between the ages of 10 and 15 were accompanied by their parents to participate in hunting activities the weekend of Feb. 11. Approximately 50 hunters participated each weekend.

Lt. Dewey Adams, Lt. Jason Adkinson and Sgt. Ryan Brown assisted the Jackson Guard by transporting hunters to and from the designated hunting sites and recovering their game animals.
